Ramaria abietina

Slo.: jelkina griva / zelenea griva - Habitat: overgrown alluvial deposits of an alpine river, a small patch of an open, pure Picea abies forest growing on long time abandoned alpine pasture; calcareous ground, flat terrain; deep shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopy, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, elevation 970 m (3.200 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: deep layer of Picea abies needles and humus under a 'roof' of low, dense Picea abies branches. - Comments: Genus Ramaria is difficult regarding species determination. I rarely find something, which would perfectly fit to the books. However this observation seems quite reliable, because of typical habitat, substratum and habitus. In addition spores fit expectations too. - Growing gregariously, most of about ten fruit bodies in a row; fruit bodies' dimensions up to 4 x 4 x 3 cm; taste slightly bitter, smell indistinctive, mushroomy; flesh quite firm and pliant; SP brown, oac869. Fruit bodies becoming slowly dirty greenish-gray when handled. - Spores spiny. Dimensions: 7 [8 ; 8.4] 9.4 x 2.1 [3.7 ; 4.4] 6 microns, Q = 1.5 [2 ; 2.2] 2.7; N = 31; C = 95%, Me = 8.2 x 4 microns; Qe = 2.1. Olympus CH20, NEA 100x/1.25, magnification 1.000 x, oil, in water.
